looking for recs!
a friend wants to move off squarespace and try to put together their own website. they don't have a ton of coding experience but are willing to poke around a little bit to see what's possible. a few tools that came to mind were https://mmm.page/ and https://neocities.org/, maybe https://yay.boo/ just as a hosting solution, but i haven't used many of these tools myself to know what might be a good fit.
help?
@kayserifserif Neocities and yay.boo are lovely but you are building from scratch - yay.boo doesn't really even give you any guidance, Neocities does though! Lots of nice tutorials.
Depends how much they want to poke around ... Like starting from scratch or having something premade to mess with?
@stefan @kayserifserif ooh yes recommend! You get lots at once there, profile page, blog, Mastodon account... Lots to poke at.
@kayserifserif
Try https://sutty.nl/en/
It's secure, resilient, ecological, and free as freedom and as beer too.
(better usability and more themes in progress). :)
@fonts thanks for this!! i loved using small victories (http://www.webmastersgallery.com/2016/05/19/small-victories-free-instant-website-out-of-your-dropbox/) but it was shut down and i didn't really follow up on the alternatives out there. will look into this!
@kayserifserif GitHub are kind of evil but it's pretty easy to put stuff on there using their Pages system
@kayserifserif there's also https://glitch.me. theoe first example is a web site that you can start remixing with a single click
@computersandblues omg right, thanks! it slipped my mind when i wrote the post but i think glitch is a great rec and had definitely told them about it! haha :)
@kayserifserif Check out pika.page. This is a great newer simple site builder. I have tried every one mentioned in this post and this is where I'm landing.
